I am just a poor girl
Trying to get back home
Waiting by the station
Barefoot on the stones
Seven years from Ponchatoula
Not one penny in my hand
So please, mister, help me
I come so far, I cannot stand
He said we don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders, yeah yeah
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came
I done left my mama
When I was but a child
Took off with a young man
Started running wild
Seven years from Ponchatoula
Ain't nothin' gone my way
So please, mister, help me
Can't you hear a word I say? Yeah
He said we don't take no riders
No riders on this train
Go on ask the brakeman
He'll tell you just the same
I don't take no riders, yeah
Don't take no riders on this train
Best move on down the line, mama
Go on back from where you came
Take no riders
Don't take no riders on this train
I don't take no riders, yeah
Don't take no riders on this train, yeah
Riders
Don't take no riders on this train
